Tessa Violet unveils “Crush” music video

Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Tessa Violet is one of the most exciting indie pop artist in recent years.
Starting out on Youtube, the 28-year-old singer-songwriter debuted in 2012 with the EP “Days of”.
Since then, Tessa has released other two EPs “You, me and Christmas” (2014), “Halloway” (2016) and one album “Maybe trapped mostly troubled” in 2014.
New single is “Crush”, a catchy track co-written with duo alternative-pop YACHTMONEY.
Speaking about the song, the American artist said: “‘Crush’ is just a real honest reflection of where I was at the time, really yearning for the excitement of being pursued and desired while desperately wanting to play it cool”.
The music video, directed by Isaac White and Jordan Harms, features Tessa walking around a supermarket with a shopping cart.
Her new album “Bad ideas” will be out August 3.

Lyrics:

I can’t focus on what needs to get done
I’m on notice hoping that you don’t run
You think I’m tepid but I’m misdiagnosed
‘Cause I’m a stalker I seen all of your posts
Ah

And I’m just tryna play it cool now
But that’s not what I wanna do now
And I’m not tryna be with you now, you now

You make it difficult to not overthink
And when I’m with you I turn all shades of pink
I wanna touch you but don’t wanna be weird
It’s such a rush, I’m thinking wish you were here
Ah

And I’m just tryna play it cool now
But that’s not what I wanna do now
And I’m not tryna be with you now, you now

But I could be your crush, like
Throw you for a rush, like
Hoping you’d text me so I could tell you I been thinking ’bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Making me feel like you’re on my island, you’re my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
Sorry

I fill my calendar with stuff I can do
Maybe if I’m busy it could keep me from you
And I’m pretending you ain’t been on my mind
But I took an interest in the things that you like
Ah

And I’m just tryna play it cool now
But that’s not what I wanna do now
And I’m not tryna be with you now, you now

But I could be your crush, like
Throw you for a rush, like
Hoping you’d text me so I could tell you I been thinking ’bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Making me feel like you’re on my island, you’re my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush

And yeah it’s true that I’m a little bit intense, right
But can you blame me when you keep me on the fence, like
And I’ve been waiting, hoping that you’d wanna text, like
Text like
(“It’s what I was born to do”)
And yeah it’s true that I’m a little bit intense, right
But can you blame me when you keep me on the fence, like
And I’ve been waiting, hoping that you’d wanna text, like
Text like

Ugh

And I’m just tryna play it cool now
But that’s not what I wanna do now
And I’m not tryna be with you now, you now

But I could be your crush, like
Throw you for a rush, like
Hoping you’d text me so I could tell you I been thinking ’bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Making me feel like you’re on my island, you’re my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
